La Vie En Rose: 9 Interesting Facts About Edith Piaf

#9. Jean Cocteau death

Her death on October 11, 1963 at the age of 47 was due to a liver ailment and internal hemorrhage
caused by a life of drink, drug dependency, accidents, and wear-and-tear. Jean Cocteau died seven
hours after hearing of his friend’s death, at age 74. Non, je ne regrette rien (“No, I do not regret anything”), her song of 1960, was a fitting tribute.
